Papal visit is an opportunity for local economy
The bishop of Leiria-Fatima, António Marto, has expressed hope that Pope Francis visit to Fatima in 2023 will be an opportunity for the local economy It is a sign of great hope, not only for what this willingness of the Pope to make himself a pilgrim again here in the Cova da Iria means, but also for the opportunity it may represent for the local economy, which has felt strongly the impact of this crisis, the cardinal said during the press conference preceding the May international anniversary pilgrimage.
Pope Francis confirmed to the bishop on 29 April his intention to visit Fatima in 2023, on the occasion of World Youth Day, which will be held in Lisbon.
